mains plug prior to any care and mainte-
nance work.
Repair works may only be performed by the
authorized customer service.
Pull on the lever of the trigger gun; the
device will switch on.
Check whether the voltage indicated on
the type plate corresponds to the volt-
age of the mains supply.
Check the mains connection cable for
damages.
Check setting at the spray lance.
Appliance ventilation: Switch the appli-
ance on with the high-pressure hose de-
tached and operate (max. 2 minutes)

connection without bubbles. Switch off
appliance and reconnect high-pressure
hose.
Check the water supply.
Pull out the sieve in the water connec-
tion using flat-nose pliers and clean un-

mains supply or when using an extension
cable
.
When switching on, first pull the lever of
